New concept art of Deadpool & Wolverine revealed a new variant, which I’m annoyed wasn’t used in the MCU movie, because it could have improved on the best scene from 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s debut in the MCU explored the multiverse more than most previous movies, bridging the gap between Earth-616 and Earth-10005, and introducing many new variants to live-action. I said that, I think Deadpool & Wolverine could have showcased even more of the multiverse’s potential, and new concept art has proven me right.
One of my favorite moments in Deadpool & Wolverine Seen Ryan Reynolds’ titular Merc with an oral journey to several different realities on the hunt for a replacement Wolverine. He meets a Wolverine of comic-book height, Patch, Old Man Logan, Fever Dream Logan, a Hulk-fighting Wolverine, the Cavilrin, and the Wolverine of Marvel Comics. Age of ApocalypseBut there are many Wolverine variants missing from this line-up. I wanted to see one missing variant in particular, explore a key moment in Wolverine’s history that X-Men: Apocalypse Already tried.

Wolverine’s escape was X-Men: Apocalypse’s best moment
Hugh Jackman made a cameo appearance in the 1980s-set X-Men: Apocalypse
Let’s take it back for a moment. remember X-Men: Apocalypse? I tend to consider X-Men: Apocalypse To be every Marvel Comics fan’s worst nightmare, but every casual one X-Men Franchise viewer’s tough watch, as the movie removed the history of ​​Marvel Comics, but nevertheless delivered a strong story. While it had its problems, X-Men: Apocalypse Has included one of these X-Men Franchise’s best moments, viz Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine made a cameo appearance during his escape from the Weapon X program in Alkali Lake.
This is probably the closest we’ll get to seeing a comic-accurate version of 20th Century Fox’s Wolverine. X-Men Franchise. Jackman was in very little clothing, and sporting a retro helmet and wiring on his head and in his body. The image was strikingly similar to Wolverine’s outfit during his escape from Weapon X in Marvel Comics, so I was overjoyed to see it play out in action. however, The scene still did not match up perfectly, however Deadpool & Wolverine Has the opportunity to improve itAnd I’m annoyed that Marvel Studios didn’t use it.
Deadpool and Wolverine almost made Wolverine’s Weapon X escape even more comically accurate
Wolverine’s Weapon X storyline was detailed in Marvel Comics in 1991
In September, Marvel Studios concept artist Phil Saunders Revealed a plan for a Wolverine variant that unfortunately didn’t make it Deadpool & Wolverine. The design reimagined Wolverine’s escape from the Weapon X facility, but would have seen Hugh Jackman sport a much more comically-accurate costume. Rather than the dull-down headgear of X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool & Wolverine’s Weapon X Wolverine variant would have worn a full 1980s-style helmet, complete with a pink visor, just like his Marvel Comics counterpart.
I’m obsessed with Saunders’ design for a comically accurate Wolverine in Deadpool & WolverineEspecially since this picture looks like it was taken directly from Barry Windsor-Smith’s Marvel Comics presents #79 from 1991, which detailed Wolverine’s escape from the Weapon X program. Including this version of Wolverine in the MCU’s Phase 5 would have set X-Men: Apocalypse Weapon X escape scene to shame. I would have loved to see this moment play out more faithfully to Marvel comics, especially with Deadpool & Wolverine’s R-rating.
I’m annoyed that the Wolverine variant wasn’t included in Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool and Wolverine didn’t include enough Wolverine variants
of course, I loved seeing the different versions of Wolverine included in a montage at the beginning of Deadpool & WolverineBut I was also a little disappointed with this moment. The scene was incredibly quick, after only showing us a few different variants of Wolverine – I wanted more. Deadpool’s many variants comprised the Deadpool Corps, and had a meaty role in the movie, but Wolverine’s variants were practically ignored. It would have been great to see more Wolverine variants in Deadpool & WolverineEspecially comically accurate ones such as the Weapon X Escape.
